Liverpool have reportedly joined the race to sign in-demand forwards Rafael Leao and Bradley Barcola this summer. A big-spending summer does not seem set to stop at Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez as Arne Slot targets back-to-back Premier League titles.

Liverpool have been advised a top IS willing to take the next step and would do well to pick Anfield next, though sources suggest a rival move is now close.

Arsenal, Liverpool and Bayern Munich all share an interest this summer, with AC Milan winger Rafael Leao on all three clubs’ radars. The 26-year-old has been at AC Milan since he signed from Lille in 2019 and has often been linked with a move away.

Arsenal have also been edged out by Barcelona with Joan Garcia, who was targeted by Mikel Arteta’s side as a new backup to David Raya. It was reported that a move to Arsenal was close, but Garcia has instead decided to join Barcelona and Romano has confirmed that this move is close to completion.
